Inter open to Adriano loan exit

omgukilledkenny SG

Inter Milan have admitted they would consider loaning Adriano out for the season after reports linked him with a move to Manchester City.

Adriano has fallen down the pecking order at Inter after a disappointing couple of seasons, and was not even named among the substitutes for the Italian Super Cup against Roma last week.

Roberto Mancini has Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Suazo, Hernan Crespo and Julio Cruz at his disposal but is keen to see Adriano challenge for a starting spot.

However, Inter realise that for Adriano to regain his best form he has to play more regularly, and are mulling over the possibility of letting him go out on loan.

"Our intention is to get Adriano back to his natural levels - which are very high - as soon as possible," Inter president Massimo Moratti told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We will follow the best possible path, agreeing everything with him and the team.

"I think he can remain, but if the best option proves to be a loan, then we will take it into consideration."

Parma have already enquired about taking Adriano on loan, but a number of other clubs have also been linked with him in the Italian press.

Sven-Goran Eriksson is understood to have rang Mancini, his former assistant at Lazio, to make a request for the player.

Adriano seeking permanent deal

Striker Adriano has dismissed the idea of joining Manchester City on loan - but will not rule out a permanent move away from Inter Milan.

Italian giants Inter confirmed on Monday they would be willing to sanction Adriano's departure on a temporary basis, with Parma also reportedly keen to snap him up.

But the powerful 25-year-old, who has made little impact for Inter over the past two seasons due to injuries and a lack of form, insists he is not interested.

"When I could have left the club, I didn't do it," the Brazilian said.

"Now, if I have to leave, I would only do it on a permanent transfer. But my wish is to remain here."

Inter's Adriano not interested in Man City loan

Inter Milan striker Adriano has dismissed the idea of joining Manchester City on loan, although he has refused to rule out a permanent move away from the San Siro.

The Italian club confirmed yesterday they would be willing to sanction Adriano's departure on a temporary basis, with Parma also reportedly keen to snap him up.

But the powerful 25-year-old, who has made little impact for Inter over the past two seasons due to injuries and a lack of form, insists he is not interested.

'When I could have left the club, I didn't do it,' the Brazilian said.

'Now, if I have to leave, I would only do it on a permanent transfer. But my wish is to remain here.'

The arrival of David Suazo from Cagliari has added another attacking option to an Inter squad already containing strikers Hernan Crespo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Julio Cruz.

The 25-year-old was not included in Roberto Mancini's squad for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Udinese on the opening weekend of the season.

'I don't want to go on loan again. I already went once to Parma when it was right for my career. Now if I must really leave, I'll go and that's it,' Adriano told Gazzetta dello Sport.

'What I and my agent don't understand is why they did not tell me immediately at the start of the summer that I had not re-entered their plans.'

Adriano said ideally he would like stay and regain his place at Inter and that the club owed him after he turned down moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea when he was in top form three years ago.

Inter President Massimo Moratti said English teams were among those interested in a loan deal but that he would not be sold permanently.

'He has two choices in front of him. Do really well with us or do really well on loan and return to us as the formidable centre forward that we know,' he told Gazzetta.

Moratti has said that if Adriano leaves before the transfer window closes on Friday, fellow reserve striker Alvaro Recoba will be have to stay at Inter rather than go to Torino.

Hammers move for Adriano

Inter confirmed last weekend they were willing to loan out the Brazilian striker so that he can regain some form and fitness after dropping down the pecking order at Giuseppe Meazza.

Manchester City and Parma had been linked with the powerful forward, although Adriano's agent appeared to rule out the prospect of leaving on loan with the transfer window set to slam shut on Friday

However, West Ham have now declared an interest in Adriano and are hoping to lure him to Upton Park before Friday's transfer deadline.

The 25-year-old has suggested he would be willing to leave Inter on a permanent basis and may be tempted by the chance to get his career back on track at West Ham.

"West Ham can confirm we are holding talks with Inter Milan over striker Adriano," said a statement on the club's website.

"The figures that have been quoted in the media are inaccurate as the possible deal is in its early stages and money has not yet been discussed.

"The club are investigating the possibility of a loan deal at this stage."

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger has revealed he has turned down the chance to take Adriano to Emirates Stadium.

"I was offered Adriano on loan and I said no," said Wenger.

"We do not need him and it was an easy decision to make because we're not out there to sign another striker.

"The agreement was for a loan. Adriano has qualities we don't need. They wanted to give us a player but wanted one back in return.

"I won't say who it was. I didn't want to lose the player they requested. I didn't necessarily think Adriano would upset the balance of the squad.

"I have bought Eduardo Da Silva. I already had Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie and I brought Nicklas Bendtner back.

"I still have Theo Walcott and Abou Diaby can play through the middle. Why should I bring more forwards in?

"I have big faith in my squad and they've proved me right so far this season."
